      Both of these feelings will likely mix. People have the unfortunate tendency to stereotype others. :/

      Yeah, sure. He actually makes Europe stronger. Europeans avoid buying American products, TESLAS etc… I’m curious where this is going in the long run… sometime he will recognize that his actions don’t get him anywhere.

    In America all I hear is “we have to wait and see if it works out.” Regarding what the trump admin is doing. Even as it breaks apart their own families.

    Americans as a unit are heartless OR incredibly disillusioned and ignorant and arrogant and it wouldn’t phase me if other countries nuked us. That would be the most humane way to take care of us. A thorough and complete carpet bombing.

    Those of us with soul would make that sacrifice and the heartless among us would lose their lives out of their own arrogance.

    Honestly, I think this is a good thing. I am old enough to have witnessed the last time we Europeans were pissed at the US during the time of George W. Bush. Back then I hoped the EU would break free from their dependency of the US… perhaps this time it finally happens.

    Wasn’t anti-american sentiment there for decades? Even as a kid in the 70’s I heard that americans will have a Canadian flag on their backpack because of the negativity that comes with wearing the american flag. Maybe it’s worse now but it’s been there for a while.

      The 70s was before my time, I remember the Canadian flag thing though. But as I understood that’s more about not wanting to be associated with other American tourists who can behave quite obnoxiously when traveling in groups and taking full advantage of strong cheap local beers and the lower legal drinking age. There is and always was some degree of anti-americanism from the left, but on a political level and not something you’d have to worry about as an individual tourist. The headline is also a bit misleading in that sense, this “anti-americanism” is directed at Trump’s shenanigans, not random tourists.

    He could have done all this without being such a dick and if he’d been polite about it other countries would have probably been somewhat understanding, at least in public sentiment. It’s not a good look to claim everyone else is ripping you off. If they were ripping you off you wouldn’t be the richest country in the world.

        Perhaps that’s the point of it. Make the citizens think they’ve been weak so that they get embarrassed and angry enough to want war.

        American culture kind of is weak. We even steal TV show ideas from other countries. we steal culture, and if we make culture then it’s monetized. Look at hip-hop culture, it bond gagged and raped by money whores whether it’s street culture making dirty money or CEO pimping artists. They all tape the culture just the same.

          Monetization is America’s culture.
          The entire world is capitalist, but no other country has such a culturally ingrained disdain for non-commercial acts.

          Look at hip-hop culture, it’s bound gagged and raped by money whores whether it’s street culture making dirty money or CEO pimping artists. They all rape the genuine culture just the same.

          This does sound a lot like there is a racist subtext here, tbh. It’s also patently false - there is no one “genuine” culture.
